Chapter 25

Although Anna cherished the snowman very much, after watching it for two days, she asked the porter to remove it.

Karenin's work will start again, and the guests who visit him will be restored. Anna does not want to doubt the impression of Karenin in the eyes of outsiders.

Although her husband is lovely and reasonable, Anna has no intention of really letting her political opponents or colleagues know about it. She always had to protect her husband's dignity, just as he always gave in for her.

The so-called couple, Anna thought, is probably the case. Feel love, and then don't be stingy to give love.

Since anuska praised Anna's idea of knee pads and scarves last time, Anna has a little bit of a new idea after Christmas.

She did yoga as usual, and then made a plan for herself. After that, she went into the kitchen and worked with Sasha, the cook, on new desserts.

Karenin saw the plan because it was spread out on the desk in the bedroom. He circled out a few grammatical mistakes and did not question it.

If his wife was interested in clothes, Karenin could find no reason to limit her. However, he thinks his wife should consolidate her language course.

He told Anna what he thought, but the latter had no objection with her round eyes.

"I think you are right."

Since then, Anna put down her schedule temporarily and began to learn more like a good student.

Although it will not be particularly pleasant to study, since she does not need to work hard for her livelihood and has obtained such a noble status, it is always harmless to learn more knowledge worthy of this status. That's what Anna thought.

Karenin hired a French teacher for Anna. He was an old man, about sixty years old, with a pair of wise and peaceful eyes.

Mr. Maillard was also Karenin's French Tutor for three years, and then he returned to France to stop teaching between them.

Karenin has always respected each other, but now, Maillard has returned to Russia and seems to have plans to settle down.

When Karenin asked him about it, the old gentleman blinked his blue eyes full of wisdom and said, "Oh, my dear Karenin, I thought you had a child, just like a sad father looking for his first French teacher for his child."

Karenin felt a little embarrassed, but he would never show it.

"I don't have a child yet, Mr. Maillard." Karenin was more precise.

"I'm here to hire you as my wife's French teacher, and my wife wants to consolidate her language knowledge to meet social needs. And I don't think there is anyone in the circle I know who is more competent than you. I would be very grateful if you would agree. "

"Look, Cherie, what sweet words! I can't believe it was made by little Karenin." Mr. Maillard winked at his wife, completely ignoring some of the twitching marks on Karenin's cheek.

"Oh, don't call Alexey Karenin the younger. He's a serious gentleman." Mrs. Maillard stopped her husband from getting older and younger. She put blueberry pie in front of Karenin.

"Have some, honey. How long haven't you had my blueberry pie?" Mrs. Maillard said lovingly that she had never forgotten the man in front of her. He was a boy, but now he has a wife of his own.

"Three years and two months, ma'am." Karenin said he ate a blueberry pie.

"You are still like this. You always remember clearly that everything is only organized. Does your wife make you blueberry pie? " Mrs. Maillard asked with a smile.

People who live to her age sometimes don't need to ask too much to get to know one person from another.

"Yes." Karenin replied, softly.

"Look, Cade, I said long ago that Alexis would find a good wife. Only a good wife would make him blueberry pie

Mr. Maillard looked strangely blue. He said dryly, "honey, I understand that better than anyone else."

When his wife went to pour tea, Mr. Maillard winked at Karenin. "Believe me, no matter how much you like blueberry pie, you'll be tired of eating it for decades." After that, Mr. Maillard ate the blueberry pie in his hand. He didn't seem to enjoy it.

Karenin looked at the contents of the little dish, then took another bite carefully. He thought, at least for the next ten years, he would not be tired of it.

Anna heard from Karenin her future French teacher, and her heart began to stir.

Although Karenin could not fully guess his wife's thoughts, he always felt that the reason for her excitement was not only due to Mr. Maillard's knowledge.

Karenin's conjecture was right.At the first lecture, Mr. Maillard thought he liked Karenin's wife very much.

"What was he like as a child?" Anna asked during the break.

"Well, when he was a child, he was more interesting than now. At that time, I told him that earthworms fell from the sky. He didn't believe it, because he thought that logically speaking, there would be no living objects in the sky. I asked him to prove that it took him three days to prove it. In the end, the report he gave me was the most tangled one I've ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, the report was lost. " Mr. Maillard had a look of regret, and Anna couldn't help laughing.

"God, I can't believe you did that to him. Alexei's character. If you throw this problem to him, he will be troubled for half a year. "

"Yes, you are right. He never forgot about it, and after eight months he managed to find logical evidence to refute me, and I don't think he likes rainy days very much Mr. Maillard blinked.

Anna thought carefully in her memory and found that Karenin was not in a good mood when it rained. He would frown and look out of the window.

Anna thought it was because rainy days were easy to suppress, and traffic was often not easy to succeed. So, when he saw the rain, it was not only rain, but also, for a moment, Karenin was worried that the rain would turn into earthworms and fall from the air?

"You are so lovely." Anna said to Mr. Maillard with a smile.

"I think so, and so do you. I was worried about what kind of wife he would find, or what kind of girl I always thought would marry him. Who can really understand him, excluding those boring girls who are well matched? " Mr. Maillard sighed, then looked at Anna and said with a smile.

"But I'm sure you're the perfect fit for him, just like my Cherie."

Anna smiles and says, "I always feel very lucky. You know, Alexis is a very good person. Sometimes I feel dizzy and suddenly find a treasure on the road, so I have to make myself better. Otherwise, anyone who has some insight will feel that a good treasure has been smashed into my hands. I don't want people to think like that. "

"So, are you going to be worthy of him?" Mr. Maillard asked curiously.

"Yes, the husband is so excellent, and the wife should also become excellent." Anna said, of course.

"But I really like to hear from you about his childhood." She blinked.

Mr. Maillard also blinked: "no problem."

Karenin, who was working in the yamen, sneezed inexplicably at the moment.

Two days later, Anna went to Mr. Maillard's house to visit Mrs. mallard.

Although her hair was all silver, she could see that she was a beauty when she was young.

Mrs. Maillard is very tall, but Mrs. Maillard's face is not very good. She put the afternoon tea place in the greenhouse, which is a shed built by herself, which is inclined to the modern glass greenhouse, but the effect may not be so good.

But anyway, it was a very beautiful garden.

Mrs. Maillard took out Ceylon black tea, a tea set made of colored porcelain, and a small cake baked delicately.

"Come on, honey, try these." Mrs. mallard asked Anna for tea.

"Your craftsmanship is excellent." Anna exclaimed.

Mrs. Maillard laughed happily. She exchanged baking skills with Anna. Finally, she said some interesting things about Karenin when she was a child. To be honest, that was the part Anna cared about most.

"Let me see. When I first met him, I thought," this is really a different child. "

Mrs. Maillard said with a smile. "He was as good as he is now. He was very polite and a little rigid. There was a big difference between him and other gangsters. My husband said he was the most carefree child he had ever taught. Although he always likes to tease each other, my husband is actually very concerned about Alexey

"I understand." Anna said.

"To be honest, I was a little worried. You know, honey, there's not much truth in this circle. The boy was so honest that he never lied, and we were surprised when we learned that he was going to take this road. But as we all see, he's doing a good job. "

"What happened in the middle of it, right?" Anna asked, because one doesn't change a lot all of a sudden.

"Yes." Mrs. Maillard gathered her hair.

"Alexey's parents died early. He was foster in his uncle's house. Oh, don't worry, honey," Mrs. mallard soothed the woman in front of her. "His uncle is a generous man. I think the reason why he changed should be related to the death of his brother. ""I've heard a little, but I don't know very well." Anna whispered.

"I've met his elder brother. He's really a wonderful person. Unfortunately, he's not very healthy all the time. He died in a foreign land, and I think it was a big blow to Alexis Mrs. Maillard looked sorry.

"Only then did I understand one thing."

"What's the matter?" Anna asked, a little distracted.

"I would never have said that in front of others. Even, an hour ago, I would never have told you more. After all, it was too private. If someone doesn't know him and doesn't want to love him from the bottom of his heart, I'll tell her these things, but it's like exposing his weakness to others. "

Anna was a little surprised at this, then moved. She sat upright, her eyes devout and soft, and she said in an emotional voice, "I swear I love him."

"Yes, of course you are. Maybe I'm a little old-fashioned, but I can still see it from my heart." Mrs. mallard laughed.

"I suddenly realized at that time that the child was not happy," she said. He was born in a well-off family, but who can understand him? His uncle is a kind and kind man, yes, but he didn't regard him as his own child. Oh, maybe he can't blame that gentleman. People like them don't know how to care even if they are their own children! "

Mrs. Maillard continued, her voice echoing the emotion of the day when she realized it, shocked and pitied.

"So I'm so happy because he met a girl like you." Mrs. mallard looked at Anna with a smile.

"I see your eyes glow when you mention him. You really love him. "

Anna was said to be a little shy and laughed, and then admitted, "yes, I love him."

"You're the first girl I've ever seen to put love on my lips. I'm sure you'll be very happy." Said Mrs. Maillard, in a blessed tone.

Anna came back from Mrs. mallard's house with a bunch of flowers.

She trimmed the flowers, then found a simple vase and put the branches in. She thought about it, and then put the vase in Karenin's study.

She sat at the desk in her bedroom. Her heart felt a little astringent. She thought of Karenin, who was a child at that time, how sad he would be when he heard of his brother's death.

Anna recalled the memory of her first meeting with Karenin, the ups and downs of his brows and eyes, and his calm words. She suddenly felt that she would love him more in the future.

This flood of ideas is a mixture of emotion, compassion and love. No one can tell, but it doesn't matter.

After Karenin came back on time, he had just got out of the carriage and was about to enter the hall when he found a man coming out.

His wife was wearing a long dark green velvet skirt with golden piping. Her black curly hair was curled up, and the green velvet cloth was made into lace and wrapped her hair.

The wind made her face a little red.

As long as he saw this unhealthy blush, Karenin's eyes could no longer look elsewhere.

He frowned softly, and even though his wife ran to him and seemed to want to be in his arms, he was more concerned about what was in front of him than in dismay.

"Anna, I have to point out again that you can't be so ungrateful of your body."

Karenin took off his overcoat and quickly wrapped up his wife's slender body.

He was more concerned about whether the cold wind had made his wife sick than to accuse her of doing so improperly.

"I love you." Anna said, eyes like a sea, wrapped in all the tenderness, gently rolling inside.

Karenin was really a bit stunned, even unable to respond to each other for a long time.

Anna hugged her again.

The housekeeper, corney, had left, and the tartar coachman had left, and they were the only ones in the yard.

Alexis, I love you Anna said again, her mouth exhaled a trace of white air, her eyes a little wet, then she smile, and repeated.

"I really, really love you."

Karenin finally recovered. He raised his hands and gently hugged his wife.

Although Karenin didn't say anything, Anna was satisfied that she could pass her heart on.

She hugged her husband tightly, which was not very romantic, but in the yard, but what did that matter.

She just needs to know that she loves him and he loves her, and that's enough.

The hug didn't last long, maybe a minute, maybe half a minute.

Karenin let go of his hand. He was silent for a moment. Then his wife took his arm and said softly with a smile: "well, I know how disgraceful it is and how much you have endured.""It's a bit shameful indeed." Karenin said, "but it's good."

Anna was also a little stunned, but soon, she began to smile.

They walked down the hall with dignity, and then went up the escalator to the second floor. All the servants kept their most appropriate expressions. No one would secretly laugh at the hostess's previous practice. Some young girls even had more romantic ideas in their hearts at that moment.

Before that, no one would have thought that romance would appear in this luxurious and cold house, but now, no one doubts that.
